USE OF THIS PROGRAM BY OTHER THAN REGISTERED USERS OF OLX 1.5x IS
A VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
THIS PATCH IS FOR THE OLX V1.5x THAT IS SOLD AS A STAND-ALONE PRODUCT AND
WILL NOT WORK ON OLX THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH QMODEMPRO.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The update program consists of two parts, the executable patch
program (PATCH.EXE) and the patch data file (OLX152.RTP). The patch
data file contains all the information needed to make changes in
the old executable files and to track the application of patches,
even after multiple updates have been performed.
To perform the update follow these simple instructions:
1. Copy the two update files PATCH.EXE and OLX152.RTP to the directory
containing your OLX executable files.
2. Check to make sure that the directory contains OLX.EXE OLX.OVR,
OLX.HLP and OLX.LNG. If any of these files are missing the patch
program will not run.
3. Change to the OLX directory and type
PATCH OLX152.RTP
and press <ENTER>.
4. A successful patch process results in a screen
indicating that files were successfully patched:

the new temporary directory.
3. If the patch is successful copy the patched files OLX.EXE, OLX.OVR,
OLX.HLP and OLX.LNG from the temporary directory to your OLX
directory.

========================================================================
This file contains documentation of changes made in OLX since the manual
was printed. It also includes reference to minor fixes implemented with
OLX v3.10, 3.02 and 3.01. Note that the current version number of OLX
is now v1.52 to match its sister product, QmodemPro. Version 1.52 is
actually newer that all v3.x releases!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLX v1.52
- Fixed a problem with saving folders on a drive other than the
default.
- If you turn the internet header option off, internet headers are no
longer generated.
- Fixed a problem with updating the screen when switching tagline
files.
- Fixed problem with re-importing CIS forum mail into your Inbox each
time the packet was opened, and beeping when read.
- Fixed conflicts with FidoPCB message leader - OLX was interpreting the
'FROM:' line as an Internet header and wiping out the real from
information in the header.
- Added a switch to control whether OLX looks for internet message
headers in the body of the message.
v1.51a
- Fixed a memory problem that caused system lockups upon exit when
internet headers were activated.
v1.51
- Changed version number to 1.51 to cooincide with QmodemPro release
numbers.
- When forwarding a message to another conference, the originating
BBS name is also included.
- If the internal unzipper can't unpack a QWK packet then then external
unzipper will automatically be tried.
- Fixed problems with large numbers of conferences (above about 4500).
- Internet address book entries are now automatically supported.
- New macro @INBOX will copy any message to your Inbox.
- Added support for OLX to work with QMGate and deal with merged
QWK packets.
- Added support for Usenet style headers in the message body.
- Fixed the personal mail beep so it beeps when a message is
addressed to your name in the QWK packet rather than your name
in the registration information.
- Added support for PCBoard 15.0 return receipts.
- Added a @FOLDER macro for function keys to provide a way to quickly
open a folder.
- Added a switch in config to turn on and off word wrap of long messages.
- Added a switch in config for skipping of messages that have already
been read.
- Fixed ANSI music support so it can be aborted with a keypress.
v3.10
- Added support for PCBoard style extended headers.
- Added support for @-color codes when Animating messages.
- OLX now word-wraps long lines in QWK packets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v3.02
No changes. version number change only for internal use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v3.01
You may note that several screen snapshots in the manual do not exactly
match those in the program. The differences are not significant. The
following short list outlines the pages with minor corrections since the
manual went to print:
p. 11
* The help system has been enhanced. You can go back to the previous
help screen by pressing Alt F1 or clicking on the bottom of the
screen.
p. 14, 19, 36, 39, 45, 48-49.
* The references to SERVICE in the screen snapshots should read PACKET.
p. 18
* Added support for [ANSIART] trigger in first line of a message. If
the word [ANSIART] appears alone on the first message line (with the
brackets), OLX will automatically invoke the animation function.
This is primarily used in ANSI conferences, and use of ANSI in other
conferences is frowned on by most networks.
Changes from v3.0 to v3.01 include:
-----------------------------------
■ Fixed problem with work directory when it was not specified with a
complete path name.
■ Fixed problem with Alt+X when pressing it from a file viewer.
■ Fixed problem with PgDn near the end of the file in the file viewer.
■ Fixed problem with resizing an editor window near the right hand edge
of the text.
■ Fixed problem with the Replied flag not getting set in the Inbox if
a messages is replied to from within a QWK conference.
■ Fixed problems with reading empty messages (message with no text).
■ Fixed problem with entering alias names in the From field.
■ Fixed problem with the read flag when reading the first message
in a conference in split screen mode.
■ Fixed a couple of problems with Find and Again in the editor.
■ Tabs in incoming messages are expanded.
■ The registration name is automatically uppercased to avoid the
problem with upper/lower names and the installation program.
■ There is now an error message if a packet rename fails.
■ Fixed problems with running OLX from a drive different from the
one OLX is installed on.
■ Fixed some problems with cut and paste and cursor positioning in
the editor.
■ Fixed problem with always zipping reply packets. The correct
packer is now used.
